Several decades ago I would deliver truckloads of block filler to Whiteman AFB. I would literally wait at the side of the runway and watch B2s taxi and then takeoff. Then they would wave mr across the runway. Other times I’d wait for one to land. Totally silent as they approach.
Decades later I lived south of KC and was in the direct flight path of the bombers and escorts. Would see the B2 fly directly overhead and an escort of either Eagles or in one case Super Hornets to the sides and above.

I guess maybe that's the hub for B-2s, because I understand that's where this one (in Tuscaloosa) was from, and where it returned to.

Spot-on about the silent approach, and the trailing sound was very unique — you can make it out on the video.

Also, you know how the moon looks huge and then you take a picture only to find that it appears tiny? That's the way this one was, IMO. Smaller on the video, but that thing looked like an absolute unit in person.
